Happy birthday to me!

I love making my own birthday cake! People seem bothered by the fact that I have to make my own cake but I love experimenting and frankly, it's the only time in the year that I only have to please myself. In this case, I did a sort of self-portrait in cake...

Just ducky

When my co-worker Scott asked me to make a cake for he and his wife's upcoming baby shower, I jumped at the chance. They loved the idea of a duckling theme and since they are leaving the gender of the baby a mystery until birth, "Waddle it be?" worked out perfectly.

Elephant and balloon baby cakes

 A baby shower celebration with an elephant and balloon theme. Gender neutral colours because we weren't sure whether it was a boy or a girl.

 As it turned out the ultrasound was scheduled for the Friday before the party and guess what? It's a girl!

So the cupcakes ended up being gender reveal cupcakes, stuffed with pink buttecream filling. What fun!
